NAME

       Module::CPANTS::Kwalitee::Distros - Information retrieved from the various Linux and other distributions

SYNOPSIS

       The metrics here are based on data provided by the various downstream packaging systems.

DESCRIPTION

   Methods
       order

       Defines the order in which Kwalitee tests should be run.

       analyse

       kwalitee_indicators

       Returns the Kwalitee Indicators datastructure.

       o   distributed_by_debian

	   True if the module (package) is repackaged by the Debian-Perl team and you can install it using the package management system of
	   Debian.

       o   latest_version_distributed_by_debian

	   True if the latest version of the module (package) is repackaged by Debian

       o   has_no_bugs_reported_in_debian

	   True for if the module is distributed by Debian and no bugs were reported.

       o   has_no_patches_in_debian

	   True for if the module is distributed by Debian and no patches applied.

Caveats
       CPAN_dist, the name of CPAN distribution is inferred from the download location, for Debian packages. It works 99% of the time, but it is
       not completely reliable.  If it fails to detect something, it will spit out the known download location.

       CPAN_vers, the version number reported by Debian is inferred from the debian version.  This fails a lot, since Debian has a mechanism for
       "unmangling" upstream versions which is non-reversible. We have to use that many times to fix versioning problems, and those packages will
       show a different version (e.g. 1.080 vs 1.80)

       The first problem is something the Debian people like to solve by adding metadata to the packages, for many other useful stuff (like
       automatic upstream bug tracking and handling). About the second... well, it's a difficult one.

       CPANTS does not yet handle the second issue.

NAME

       Debian::Control::Stanza::Source - source stanza of Debian source package control file

SYNOPSIS

	   my $src = Debian::Control::Stanza::Source->new(\%data);
	   print $src;			       # auto-stringification
	   print $src->Build_Depends;	       # Debian::Dependencies object

DESCRIPTION

       Debian::Control::Stanza::Source can be used for representation and manipulation of "Source:" stanza of Debian source package control files
       in an object-oriented way. Converts itself to a textual representation in string context.

FIELDS

       The supported fields for source stanzas are listed below. For more information about each field's meaning, consult the section named
       "Source package control files -- debian/control" of the Debian Policy Manual at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/
       <http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/>

       Note that real control fields may contain dashes in their names. These are replaced with underscores.

       new
       new( { field => value, ... } )
	   Creates a new Debian::Control::Stanza::Source object and optionally initializes it with the supplied data.
